A Conscience Without Offense

[Mr. M]

Hebrews 10:

1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things,

can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually

make the comers thereunto perfect.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers

once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

The remembrance of sin is a tool of Satan to bring accusation against mankind.

Most understand that Christ died to take away our sins. By the blood,

He has also delivered us from the remembrance of sin, which is guilt and shame.

Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit

offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

 

The blood of Christ is conscience cleansing, so that we can hear the Voice

of His Spirit in our hearts, and serve Him without fear.

Luke 1:

74 To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,

Might serve Him without fear,

75 In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

This the Law could not perfect.

Hebrews 9:

8 The Holy Spirit signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not

yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both

gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect,

as pertaining to the conscience.

Acts 13:39 By Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from

which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Acts 24:16 This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience

without offense toward God and men.

Therefore, beloved brethren:

Hebrews 10:

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our

hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who

promised is faithful.

Romans 2:

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law,

do by nature the things contained in the law, these,

having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts,

their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts

the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.

2 Corinthians 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience,

that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom,

but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world,

and more abundantly toward you.

2 Corinthians 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,

not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully;

but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves

to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
